“…somewhere between the Replacements and the Cars; it is poppy, but has a classic college rock radio feel.”
— Adam Morgan, Surviving the Golden Age
“Classic rock and roll strut here, reminded of the Strokes but with a little more of the original spirit of punk...and with added melodic sense of song. It has the smell of a rampage in its nostrils. Good stuff.”
— Kevin Hugger, mp3hugger.com
“...there is a kind of NYC/Brit Rock vibe I'm nostalgic for. It's simultaneously making me want to jam out in my teenage bedroom, but also just feels like the perfect soundtrack to day drink in some grotty dive.”
— Katie S., Belfast, Ireland
Bio
THE MOORS are here to bring you back to the six-string glory days of your misspent youth. Their debut EP, "15 Minutes," is the music in that fever dream you once had---where you’re hanging out with Paul Westerberg and Alex Chilton while Joan Jett and Ric Ocasek are out back shooting pool, smoking cigarettes and watching the ’87 World Series in an old Bowery flophouse. Finally, Westerberg pulls a cassette from his pocket, looks at you, and says, “I gotta play you this.”
Formed in 2018, THE MOORS is comprised of lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter Mubashir Mohi-ud-Din (aka "Din") and lead guitarist/producer/consigliere JP Bowersock, both of whom were previously in the band Zerobridge. Din, who was born in the UK (Pontefract, West Yorkshire) and whose family immigrated to the US from the disputed and embattled region of Kashmir, eventually settled in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. After a chance encounter between Din and JP at the Delancey/Essex subway stop, a close friendship and musical comradery ensued. Joined by a supporting cast of seasoned NYC musicians, THE MOORS ethos is simple: just give 'em good tunes, and keep it New York AF.
